The Food Bank (Banc dels Aliments), in coordination with the Food Bank in Valencia, will be managing the shipments to areas affected by the flooding, according to the priorities at any given moment and the evolution of the emergency.
Besides the donation points, the most effective donation continues to be monetary, by bank transfer to the Banc dels Aliments de València (ES86 2100 2806 6402 0009 8998) or by Bizum to the number 38400 (subject: donation).
Mercabarna is also joining the initiatives by Barcelona City Council to provide support for those affected, offering economic aid to the Food Bank in Valencia. Companies are also organising shipments of fresh food where needs are identified.
